badri's Notes
to chance the rapper's "nostalgia" instrumental
wonderous heros turning out to be zero
young man never missed his free throw
wuwei, stayin with the flow
keep stayin with the flow
keep stayin with the flow
watch me as i go, go
out into the distance,
i forgot that i missed this
oversized shirt on this mischief
mischieveious kid placin high bids
that one day he will rid
the barrier
one day he'll marry her
and be able to carry her
all the way to heaven
masculine feminine
misplaced reverend
confused weathermen
wishing love will never end
but whats forecast
he dropped his fork last
on his fourth glass
of that cognac
and the room starts spinnin
spinnin
...spinnin
feeling trapped ya
in nostalgia
trying find the way
actionless action, this kid is just a fraction
of what it takes to awake
the snake, rising to the top
a dimensional hop
up in the clouds, no broom no mop
time starts to vanish
i didnt think i planned this
a baby man kid
seeing his past potential
his future in a stencil
drew it out in pencil
but quickly erased
slowing down pace
handing over his plate
i don't know what's best for me
i can only see up to three
when he can see nine
infinite divine
flows without tryin
kinda tired so im sighin
pay attention to the signs
clock says 12:34
maybe some sort of metaphor
while i write this
learning how to exist
and resist temptations, leave the fear
look for love, cus there's only love here
tired of the map
tired of talking crap
tired of taking naps
wishing he would wake up
but then where would we be?
floating in the sea
dropping like fruits off the tree
a small part of this bigger picture
a set point in this spacial fixture
a mere drop in this giant mixture
a lost soul that might just sit here
mesmerized my human eyes
polarized my fluid guise
wishin i wise
y'all fishing through lies
i've been in and through lives
sound like a goof
found piles of truth
i'm listening
